Confession of a Shopaholic - Opps I Did it Again

I didn't know what came over me but I nearly spent 400 dollars for 4 pieces of blouses. And they are not merely simple blouses. The material is extremely soft and silky, smooth on the skin and cooling too, a bonus for me who sweat easily when trying to walk faster, catching the train to/from work every day.

I was just passing by the ladies' department store inside this huge mall and simply couldn't resist the temptation. Wanting to touch, feel and try it on was unbearable. I had to do it. As I was flipping through a few racks of clothing line, this pretty little salesgirl came up to me and greeted me with her dazzling smile, "Can I help you miss?" I looked at her and said, "Hmm...I am looking for a size M for this blouse, do you have it?" And she said, "Let me check it for you". In less than 2 minutes, she got the right size for me, and quickly suggested another blouse, which I instantly feel in love with it.

I went straight to the changing room and try on the 2 blouses, WOW!! the texture of the material is so smooth and cooling. When I looked at the price tag, I gasp! $96 for a blouse... but I liked it and I need to add more variety in my wardrobe. The salegirls came knocking in the dressing room and suggested 3 more spectacular blouses and sure enough I'd tried it on and simply loved it. But the pink/white design was too 'feminine' for me so I picked only 4 of 5 blouses with 'safer' colours/designs. All at $96 each and paid by card. There goes by debts....sigh! But what the heck, I felt good about it and just couldn't get over the sense of pleasure and satisfaction of shopping.

All these compulsive shopping took me less than 30 minutes to pick, try-on and purchase before I headed off to the hotel lobby where my sister was waiting. I didn't tell her I went shopping because she''ll definitely give me one of her lectures on debts, bla bla bla...it's my money, I've earned it and I deserve some credit to spent how and where I want it :)
